Swiss drones back in the air


Swiss Post and drone systems developer Matternet are resuming their drone operations to serve the healthcare sector. In Lugano, where they have been back in the air since 27 August 2020, they will transport laboratory samples again on a daily basis for the healthcare sector, connecting two hospitals.

 

The drones in Ticino have been grounded since mid-March, as Ospedale Civico and Ospedale Italiano were pooling their staffing resources. In Zurich, test flights between the University Hospital Zurich and the University of Zurich Irchel Campus are planned from today, 31 August.

 

The partners made use of the interruption in flights to check the previous flight path, which has been moved further east. From next month, the drones in Zurich are also expected to relaunch regular transports of laboratory samples. (ah)
